Ok, version 7.8 "Display Driver".
2)Try to install the driver. You will get a "No compatible device found" error.
Ok, I installed.

3)Go to the "Add Hardware" wizard in the Control Panel.
Ok

4)Choose to install with the "Have Disk" option.
So so... I need more details because have several options to arrive in "Have Disk".

5)Use the browse function to find the place where you originally extracted the setup files and choose the .inf.
Ok, I tried several forms then....
I know when was intalled ".inf" .

6)Select Radeon X1200, choose install anyways and voila!

In the forms that I tried it didn't appear this driver(X1200)

Help me please....
Thanks...

Hi,
Can anyone please let me know how I can make Toshiba A215-S4697 dual boot. I want to install both Vista and Win XP.

I formatted the HD, created partition and then installed Vista. When I try to install Win XP Pro, it does not allow saying that the version of windows I am trying to install is older than the current version.

A quick reply would be very much appreciated.

clive_clussler · 09-24-2007, 12:15 AM

Just to add to my previous post, can someone tell me the steps to install Vista & Wix SP?

I have the whole set of XP office discs (3)and I also see a service pack1 with them

Are you sure they are Operating system disks or MS Office. You said Office in your post. Office is only a suite of programs like MS Word, Excell, PowerPoint etc not an operating system. WinXP Home, Pro or Media would be an OPerating System.
If you are purchasing the XP Home set, See if you can get one flashed with SP2, otherwise there will be a lot of downloading to get it up to snuff. Make sure you have all your XP drivers, utilities etc before making the switch or you will find that some of your features are not working

The Driver: Realtek RTL8139-810x Etherne is not working. Whe I unzip the down loaded file I get 3 files: NETRTXPA 52KB, Netrtxpo 104KB, RTLNIC51 64KB System file the last one looks like the one I need ,but when I put in the path when I update the driver does not work. Any Ideas?

I am also having this problem. I install the drivers and they don't work. I get a message that "the device cannot start". And then the almighty windows help tries to assist me.

If you download the RTL8111B drivers from Realtek's site (www.realtek.com.tw), they install fine, but the laptop freezes when you hook up the LAN cable.

Any ideas?

Thanks for the instructions. I was successfully able to install the driver and it worked.

alpha_omega · 10-15-2007, 06:15 PM

Okay... Are there any official WORKING instructions available that have been verified to be correct in getting drivers working? I HATE vista and want to go back to XP, but last time I tried going to XP with these instructions, nothing worked.

raptor99 · 11-09-2007, 03:45 PM

Belmont, thanks so much for these drivers. I finally got sick of Vista yesterday and used your driver pack to install XP onto my Toshiba. The only one that isn't working correctly is the ethernet driver (not Wi-Fi) but it's not a big deal.. I'm sure it won't take much to get it working. I haven't even used the ethernet port since I've gotten the laptop anyway. Ahhh, XP works so much better than God-forsaken Vista! Thanks again Belmont!

benbox · 11-26-2007, 04:02 AM

hey BelmontSlayer , i got toshiba satellite A215 S4697 from my friend, i also have some problem to downgrade windows vista became XP,
